Vučić: In the 90s and 2000s, we had the most serious crimes involving the police elite
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated today that there will be zero tolerance for those in the police who cooperate with "drug dealers and criminals from any sphere or area," asserting that police unit commanders killed the Prime Minister of Serbia.
TL;DR
- Zero tolerance will be enforced against police officers collaborating with drug dealers and criminals.
- Police unit commanders were responsible for the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić in 2003.
- Police officers participated in the preparation of the assassination of Belgrade Police Chief Boško Buha in 2002.
- The highest ranks of the police were involved in serious criminal acts and were directly linked to crime in the 1990s and 2000s.
- President Vučić has endured three years of "terror" from certain police structures targeting him and his brother over the Jovanjica affair.
- Existing regulations prohibiting police from engaging in criminal activities were not adhered to, a habit that persisted from the 90s and was widespread after 2000.
- The goal is to precisely define by law what is permissible for police officers, targeting the "dirty five percent" of corrupt individuals.
- The majority of police officers perform their duties honestly.
